Bored Angels

Bored putti, via Calzabigi, LivornoInspired by Fort Lauderdale Daily Photo and his relentless pursuit of “strange things that people put in front of their homes”, I have been canvassing Livorno for the same stuff.Bored putti, via Calzabigi, LivornoIt's not easy here, too many apartment buildings, but we already got some proud lions and, this time, some bored angels.Bored putti, via Calzabigi, LivornoI know that they look more like “putti” than angels, but I didn't like “bored putti” as a title...

    They look more like little imps than angels...and I think the are collaborating together on some sneaky, snarky tricks to play on the inhabitants of Livorno...

    So, you'd better watch out!

    Maybe they wouldn't be so bored if they were moved around every now and then. :) They are kind of cute.

    Ah, wonderful and sweet little angels. Love it! Keep looking ...although I don't think you'll find any of B SQUARED's cigar store Indians.

    The first one does look a little bored, but the second one looks more like he's wishing the first one would notice him!

    They don't look bored to me. They look sweet & contemplative.

    Nice. This post makes me smile. I'll have to look up "putti." I would have called them angels, too.
